This book, the third in a series on the life course, has
significance in today's world of research, professional practice,
and public policy because it symbolizes the gradual reemergence of
power in the social sciences. Focusing on "self-directedness and
efficacy" over the life course, this text addresses the following
issues: * the causes of change * how changes affect the individual,
the family system, social groups, and society at large * how
various disciplines--anthropology, sociology, psychology,
epidemiology--approach this field of study, with consideration
given to common themes and differences Finally, an effort is made
to develop a multidisciplinary perspective unique to the study of
self-directedness and efficacy.
